In the push to diversify their revenue streams, innovative publishers have begun to think of subscriptions as a starting point, rather than a finishing line.
During Adweek’s Elevate: Publishing event, decision-makers at top media companies including The New York Times, Hearst, BuzzFeed, New York Magazine and The Washington Post weighed in on the strategies they are investing in to generate new sources of income, as well as keep current subscribers paying.
